The Webb liquor law is being test •d in different portions of the Bute, but liquor continues to come. BETHEL METHODfMT KPMOOPAL the levying of apartal taxes for school purposes l%«more difficult la the country than in’* the towns, and when special taxes are levied the rate of property assessment in too low to reader, adequate returns. Also, the scattered population makes It necessary for more schools to ac commodate the same number of pu pils than in the towns, thus destroy ing in s large measure the value of concentration and consolidation. Furthermore, the very independ ence of farm life renders co-operation harder than in the towns. Thus, the Legislature recognixisg the needs, have sought to provide for them. But have they provided right ly y The bill as passed reduces the ordinary state levy from which the state^id for schools has always been taken. It is calculated that' the one- . half to be raised by the one-mill levy ! a* for the fflste will no more than pay the usual appropriations for school purposes. Thus we see that one-half of the levy is diverted from ita prop er place and made to pay the usual appropriations for school aid. Now, the other one-half raised by one-mill levy is to be spent in the counties from ' which it is^ raised. That is. Colleton will retain one-half of the amount raised by the one-mill levy and send the balance to the Bute Treasury. The most striking objection to this system comes from the fact that the bulk of the one-tniii will come from tbe counties that have the least need of it. As for example. Charleston has now real ly more funds than she needs for school purposes, while rural schools in Colleton are closing every day for the lack of funds. Then. too. is lb not dangerous to entrust the spend- t»* of this money to the different county Boada of Education, where A. Fairy, Paator.
